Calendar brings changes to city schools in a big change for the district with a move to a nine-weeks grading period and a modified calendar with a couple of threeweek breaks. It is not a “yearround” calendar.

A new school year with a restructured calendar is days away for Corinth students. Monday, Aug. 1, will usher
“While we are the first ones in this area to do this type of schedule,” said Superintendent Lee Childress, “everybody that we have talked to that has tried this has seen an increase in stu-
dent achievement, and that is ultimately what we want as a school district to see.” One of the main reasons for the switch is a new strategy that will shift remediation to those

Worley to headline Blue bows show support for law enforcement officers Shiloh concert For the Daily Corinthian
BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Blue bows are popping up around Corinth in support of the thin blue line. It is a campaign to remind officers that the community cares in light of the shooting deaths of law enforcement officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, La. “I just feel like they need our support right now,” said Pam Talley, one of the people behind the bow effort. “Life is getting hard for them. It’s scary out there.” She delivered bows to the police department and sheriff’s department on Friday and had a van full to be delivered Saturday. “I would love for the movement to be countywide, statewide, nationwide,” she said. Talley wants officers to feel it is “worth them going out and risking their lives for us.” She was contacted by a re-

SHILOH, Tenn. — On Thursday, Aug. 25, Shiloh National Military Park, along with 411 of her sister national parks, will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. From sea to shining sea, park visitors and NPS employees will commemorate the founding of the Park Service with special programs and events all around the country. Shiloh Battlefield has been celebrating all summer long with its Centennial Concerts in the Park music series, and the August 25th NPS Birthday Bash show will offer world class entertainment for concert goers.

Butch Carmichiel is a busy man. The wholesale parts representative at Long-Lewis Ford went to work for Ford in July 1960 at V.M. Box Motor Company. “My dream in high school was to be exactly where I started,” said the Pine Grove graduate. Carmichiel, who has been married to Lavaughn for 58 years, went to mechanic school at Nashville Auto-Diesel College out of high school before beginning a five-decade career for Ford. Carmichiel, the father of four children, has seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. The longtime member of the CorinthAlcorn Parks and Recreation Board is also a deacon at Oakland Baptist Church. “God has always put me where He wanted me to be,” said Carmichiel, who also does landscaping in his spare time.
The first day of school for KHS students is Aug. 4. “I like the Thursday start,” said Smith. “It gives the kids a couple of days the first week.” The open house will give students an opportunity to meet teachers. “It will be a chance for them to walk around the school and familiarize themselves with things,” added Smith. In order for students to pick up their schedule they must complete or have on file: • Proofs of residence such as driver’s license, utility bills, mortgage/rental/lease agreements, auto registration and homestead exemption • Parking sticker.

Across the Region Selmer Revenue problems upset county mayor
Today is Sunday, July 24, the 206th day of 2016. There are 160 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On July 24, 1866, Tennessee became the first state to be readmitted to the Union after the Civil War.
On this date: In 1915, the SS Eastland rolled onto its side while docked at the Clark Street Bridge on the Chicago River; an estimated 844 people died in the disaster. In 1937, the state of Alabama dropped charges against four of the nine young black men accused of raping two white women in the “Scottsboro Case.” In 1959, during a visit to Moscow, Vice President Richard Nixon engaged in his famous “Kitchen Debate” with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. In 1969, the Apollo 11 astronauts — two of whom had been the first men to set foot on the moon — splashed down safely in the Pacific. In 1974, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that President Richard Nixon had to turn over subpoenaed White House tape recordings to the Watergate special prosecutor. In 2002, nine coal miners became trapped in a flooded tunnel of the Quecreek Mine in western Pennsylvania; the story ended happily 77 hours later with the rescue of all nine.
SELMER, Tenn. — The process of convincing the people of McNairy County about the county’s revenue problems has been a tough one for County Mayor Ronnie Brooks. The recent defeat of a wheel tax resolution and property tax increase has been frustrating for the mayor. Brooks, described by many as one of the nicest men in the county, feels battered by the criticism that has been spread about him and his leadership of the county. “I got into this job to help my county grow,” said an emotional Brooks. “I am not doing this to make myself look good or any credit for good things. I grew up here, live here, and will spend the rest of my life in this county.” The mayor pointed out a recent complaint about him buying new furniture for his office in the courthouse while the county is having a budget crisis. While his voice cracked, he said, “I bought this furniture with my money to make my office look better. I did not spend any county money on the furniture.” He heard other criticism of $1,500 in other furniture that was bought with money from a budget over two years ago. Brooks said the misinformation in the community the past several months has caused him
many sleepless nights. “I do not understand why some would give wrong information to convince others to vote against the wheel tax last year,” he said. The mayor said the voters could have been better educated prior to last year’s election. There is no way to tell whether a lower amount than a $100 wheel tax would have been passed.
Booneville State officials look to Booneville Depot BOONEVILLE — Officials with the Mississippi Department of Archives and History are helping determine what’s next for the historic Booneville Depot. A pair of representatives from the agency’s Mississippi Landmarks division visited the depot Tuesday to get an up close look at structural issues so they can provide advice on how the issues can be corrected. Booneville Preservation Commission chair Diane Garvin said MDAH can provide advice on what should be done to preserve the structure while maintaining the historically correct look of the building. The agency may also be able to provide funding to help with needed repairs. Jim Lamb with the Rails and Trails Museum housed in the Depot said they’re extremely grateful for the support of the city and the work done by building inspector/public property manager Charles Sanders to repair many problems
with the building and help push toward fixing other issues. “I’m just tickled to death,” said Lamb. Mingo Tingle, a preservation specialist with MDAH, said Tuesday’s site visit is a first step in the process of developing a plan of action. They’ll then study photos and information gathered in the visit along with historical photos, blueprints and other information to determine the best way to preserve the property for the long haul. He said their goal is to avoid quick fixes that could create problems down the road. Instead they want to create a plan that will stabilize the structure and improve and protect it for the future. Once the plan is complete city leaders can look at the proposal and options and at funding sources to determine how best to proceed.
Selmer Officials weigh law enforcement issues SELMER, Tenn. — Officials from the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference (TNDAGC) and the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security held a statewide symposium focused on high-profile public safety issues including officer-involved shootings and body-worn cameras. The symposium was held June 22 to June 24 in Franklin, and featured speakers from various judicial districts and law enforce-
ment agencies in Tennessee, the Los Angeles Police Department’s Tactical Technology Section and more. “Law enforcement professionals in Tennessee – and nationally – are facing a growing list of increasingly complex challenges,” said District Attorney General Mike Dunavant (25th Judicial District), Chairman of TNDAGC’s Justice and Professionalism Committee. “The purpose of the symposium was to connect law enforcement stakeholders from across the state with other experts to share resources and discuss ethical approaches to some of the most sensitive issues facing our community today.” The Tennessee Department of Finance and Administration’s Office of Criminal Justice Programs (OCJP) provided funding for the symposium. OCJP’s focus on supporting the changing needs of Tennessee’s justice system complements the role TNDAGC plays in offering training opportunities on emerging law-enforcement trends to the prosecutorial community statewide.
Jackson 19 airports in state receive FAA grants JACKSON (AP) — Mississippi’s two U.S. senators say 19 of the state’s airports will benefit from $20.3 million in Federal Aviation Administration grants awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The Airport Improve-
ment Program grants include $13.8 million approved for runway work at the Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport and nearly $4.6 million for noise abatement and other work at the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport. U.S. Sens. Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker announced the grants Friday in a news release. The grants will also support projects at19 facilities including Philadelphia Municipal Airport, Houston Municipal Airport, McCharen Field Airport in West Point, G.V. Montgomery Airport in Forest, Ackerman Choctaw County Airport in Ackerman, Hattiesburg Bobby L. Chain Municipal Airport, Hattiesburg-Laurel Regional Airport, Brookhaven-Lincoln County Airport, Louisville Winston County Airport and Winona-Montgomery County Airport.
Tupelo BancorpSouth earns $34.7 million in 2Q TUPELO (AP) — BancorpSouth Inc. reports net income of $34.7 million, or 37 cents per share, for its second quarter. That’s down 12.6 percent from a year earlier, when the parent company of BancorpSouth Bank earned $39.7 million, or 41 cents per share. The results met analysts’ consensus estimates. Company Chairman and CEO Dan Rollins says credit and debit card revenue grew to $9.5 million from $9.3 million.

Our View
Crime spree leaves us scratching our heads Recent headlines in the Daily Corinthian probably left us all scratching our heads when it comes to local crime. A robber approached two people at Johns Street park and pointed a gun at them. He told them to empty their pockets and took their wallets and cell phones. Then the thief asked for their shorts. What? We are so glad the “britches bandit” has been arrested by police. This news was announced the same day police said there has been a rash of vehicle thefts in Corinth. All of the stolen cars and trucks had their doors unlocked and keys in the ignition. Several bold moves of jumping fences and ramming vehicles through gates ended with the arrest of a suspect on five counts of vehicle theft. The theft spree report was as if it was a movie script. Law enforcement will say much theft is usually the result of drug activity. We are glad of the two arrests by local police. We hope for more success in arrests of those responsible for vehicle thefts. Law enforcement agencies believe it is a ring involving many counties, including McNairy in Tennessee and Alcorn, Tishomingo and Prentiss in Northeast Mississippi. In the meanwhile, we will keep vehicle keys in our pockets, vehicle doors locked, and hopefully, our pants on.

Trump’s Neshoba visit will face scrutiny PHILADELPHIA — From heated races to choose county supervisors or local justices of the peace to the White House, the Neshoba County Fair remains Mississippi’s premier political stump. That fact will be again underscored this week with the scheduled appearance of the son of newly-minted Republican presidential nominee Donald J. Trump at Neshoba on Tuesday. The Neshoba County Fair as the traditional epicenter of retail politics in Mississippi famously brought Republican presidential nominee Ronald Reagan to the fairgrounds in a speech that still ranks as the institution’s largest single event in 1980. Other presidential candidates – Democrat presidential nominee Michael Dukakis in 1988 and presidential candidates Jack Kemp and John Glenn – also campaign at Neshoba. Donald (Don) Trump Jr. will not be the first son of a presidential candidate to make an appearance at Neshoba, either. Neil Bush, the son of President George H.W. Bush and the brother of President George W. Bush, also campaigned for his father at Neshoba in 1988 in a surrogate role. For decades, I’ve been an interested observer of
Prayer for today Eternal God, may I become more like thee. Give me the desire to associate myself with people and places where the divine spirit is supreme. May my soul breathe in the influence of all that is good and true; and may I use my life for thy honor and praise. Amen.

political speeches at Neshoba and despite not always agreeing with content Sid Salter offered by the speakColumnist ers. My memories gravitate toward the great old stump speakers I heard under the Founder’s Square Pavilion as a kid. Some were outright racists or segregationists. Some were progressives or liberals (but mostly only by Mississippi standards). Others were self-serving charlatans. Many, thank goodness, actually had a sincere desire to serve their fellow man and deserved a shot at public service. Shake them all up in a sack over a half-century and the entertainment factor was high even when the sensible public policy quotient was pretty low. My memory serves up the state’s Hall of Fame stump speakers – names like Ross Barnett, Jimmy Swan, Roy Black, John Arthur Eaves Sr., J.P. Coleman, Bill Waller Sr. and others who taught me to love the theatrics of politics. For my money, the most infamous was longshot candidate Robert “Blowtorch” Mason, a welder who asked voters to elect
him governor so he could move his wife into a fancy home with indoor plumbing and electricity. S. Gale Denley, my departed friend and fellow scribe, loved Jim Buck Ross and his fair speech gimmicks – usually an armadillo trap or some such – and like me enjoyed the speakers from both parties who could really “shuck the corn.” Don Trump is not scheduled to speak at Neshoba, but I’m not sure that really matters. Social media has changed political engagement to the point that a stump speech isn’t required. The optics will be that Trump came to the place some in the media have dubbed “Republican Woodstock” and rubbed elbows with rural Mississippians at a campground fair – a campground fair that has received national political attention before. In 1980, Ronald Reagan told fairgoers: “I believe in state’s rights; I believe in people doing as much as they can for themselves at the community level and at the private level. And I believe that we’ve distorted the balance of our government today by giving powers that were never intended in the Constitution to that federal establishment.” Reagan’s “state’s rights”
line drew withering fire from Democrats and the national media who drew instant parallels between those remarks and the 1964 Ku Klux Klan murders of three civil rights workers near Philadelphia. Interestingly, it took years to find a recording of Reagan’s full 1980 speech and that from a private citizen. Yet today, the social media impact of Don Trump’s visit will be instant, viral, and commentary will ensue before Trump shakes Neshoba’s red clay from his shoes. Social media has forever changed political engagement in a way that stump speeches filtered hours or days later through the traditional news media cannot touch – even at outposts as remote and provincial as Neshoba. Trump is favored to carry Mississippi and the South. Presidential politics have been relatively quiet at Neshoba since the Dukakis speech in 1988. While the visit of Don Trump is unlikely to impact the outcome of the race, it does reinforce the reputation of the Neshoba County Fair as center stage in the Mississippi political arena.

Ted Cruz and the Trump takeover The self-righteousness and smugness of Ted Cruz in refusing to endorse Donald Trump, then walking off stage in Cleveland, smirking amidst the boos, takes the mind back in time. At the Cow Palace in San Francisco in July of 1964, Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, having been defeated by Barry Goldwater, took the podium to introduce a platform plank denouncing “extremism.” Implication: Goldwater’s campaign is saturated with extremists. Purpose: Advertise Rocky’s superior morality. Smug and self-righteous, Rocky brayed at the curses and insults, “It’s a free country, ladies and gentlemen.” Rocky was finished. He would never win the nomination. Richard Nixon took another road, endorsed Goldwater, spoke for him in San Francisco, campaigned for him across America. And in 1968, with Goldwater’s backing, Nixon would rout Govs. George Romney and Rockefeller, and win the presidency, twice. Sometimes, loyalty pays

off. A b o u t Cruz, a prediction: He will not be the nominee in 2020. He Pat will never be Buchanan the nominee. If Trump Columnist wins, Cruz is cooked. If Trump loses, his people will not forget the Brutus who stuck the knife in his back. Yet, beyond the denunciations of Trump and disavowals of his candidacy, something larger is going on here. The Goldwaterites were not only dethroning the East Coast liberal establishment of Rockefeller, but saying goodbye to the Republicanism of President Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon. Something new was being born, and births are not a pretty sight. What was being born was a new Republican Party. The crisis of today’s Republican Party stems from a failure to recognize, after Reagan went home, and during the presidency of George H. W. Bush, that America now faced a new set
of challenges. By 1991, America’s border was bleeding. Thousands were walking in from Mexico every weekend. The hundreds of thousands arriving legally, the vast majority of them Third World poor, began putting downward pressure on working-class wages. Soon, these immigrants would begin voting for the welfare state on which their families depended, and support the Party of Government. By 1991, free trade had begun to send our factories and jobs overseas. By 1991, an epoch in world history had ended. With the collapse of the Soviet Empire, the Cold War was suddenly over. America had prevailed. What paralyzed the Republicans of a generation ago? What blinded them from seeing and blocked them from acting on the new realities? Ideology, political correctness, a reflexive recoil against new thinking, and an innate inability to adapt. The ideology was a belief in free trade that borders on the cultic, though free trade

had been rejected by America’s greatest leaders. The political correctness stemmed from a fear of being called racist and xenophobic so paralyzing, so overpowering, that some Republicans would ship the entire Third World over here, rather than have it thought they would ever consider the race, ethnicity or religion of those repopulating America. The inability to adapt was seen when our Cold War adversary extended a hand in friendship, and the War Party slapped it away. With Trump’s triumph, the day of reckoning has arrived. The new GOP is not going to be party of open borders, free trade globalism or reflexive interventionism. The weeping and gnashing of teeth are justified. For these self-righteous folks are all getting eviction notices. They are being dispossessed of their home.

“Awful Beautiful Life,� “I Miss My Friend,� and the smash “Have You Forgotten,� which spent seven weeks at number one. His gold selling 2003 compilation album titled Have You Forgotten, also includes the original song “Shiloh,� in which Worley commemorates the famous Civil War battle. Worley, a neighbor of Shiloh National Military Park and native of Savannah, Tennessee, has given back to the local community by funding the Darryl Worley Cancer Treatment Center. He is also committed to giving back to our service men and women deployed overseas protecting our country. He annually tours military installations in Iraq and Afghanistan performing for the troops where his poignant post-9/11 song “Have You Forgotten� is a highlight of his shows. The second act on the bill will be Chuck Mead and His Grassy Knoll Boys. Influenced by Western Swing, rockabilly, and the Bakersfield sound, Mead came to prominence in the mid1990s with the alt-country band BR549. The band released seven albums and received three Grammy nominations before going on hiatus in 2006. Since that time Mead has served as musical director of the Broadway hit Million Dollar Quartet and released three well received solo albums with the Grassy Knoll Boys. His latest album, Free State Serenade, is a wild ride

Chuck Mead & The Grassy Knoll Boys of hillbilly blues and honky-tonk, based on the stories and legends, crimes and the lonesome open road of his childhood and formative years in Kansas. Opening the show will be bluesy/alt-country rocker Richie Owens and the Farm Bureau. A native of Tennessee, the Owens family moved to east Tennessee after the Civil War and took up moonshining, share cropping, and preaching the Gospel. Owens grandfather wrote songs for Kitty Wells, and as a young teen Richie was a backing musician for Joe and Rose Lee Maphis and Leon Russell.
As a record producer he worked on Dolly Parton’s Hungry Again album, and he has engineered records for everyone from the Georgia Satellites to Vince Gill to the Bangels. Owens has his own signature model mandolin and resonator guitar named for him and he spent a portion of his life in Parton’s band. The Farm Bureau’s new CD titled “Tennessee� came out earlier this year and spotlights much of the history and culture of the Volunteer State. The concert begins at 5:30 p.m. and is free of charge. Concert goers are encouraged to bring picnic baskets, and lawn chairs, or blankets. A food truck will be on site as will a Junior Ranger booth with activities for the kids. The Friends of Shiloh organization will also have a booth selling bottled water, sports drinks, and snacks to raise money for future projects in the park.

and the spring break is March 13-31. Rather than wrapping up in late May, the school year will go into mid-June, with exams June 13-15 and graduation on June 16. Snow days are not built into the calendar, and makeup days for weather would likely be scheduled during the spring break. While change is often met with reluctance, Childress said most districts report that this type of schedule is well-received once the students have experienced it. “We will look at it closely and if there are things that we need to re-examine before the next school year, we will certainly do that,� he said. The complete calendar appears in today’s back-toschool section.

Democrats ready for convention BY MARYCLAIRE DALE Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Protesters, party leaders and city officials were making final plans as Philadelphia prepared to host the four-day Democratic National Convention that starts Monday. More than 5,000 delegates are among the 50,000 people set to attend the gathering at the Wells Fargo Center in South Philadelphia, which is expected to culminate with Hillary Clinton being named the party’s official nominee for president. The former secretary of state and first lady has named Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia as her running mate. Protest groups prepared Saturday for events scheduled throughout the week that address health care, immigration, economic justice and other
concerns. Clean energy supporters met in the city’s Kensington neighborhood to finish artwork they’ll carry in a planned march Sunday from City Hall to Independence Mall. “The demonstration is here to send a message to the assembled political leaders, especially because it’s unique to Pennsylvania. This is a state that is kind of ground zero for the movement against fracking,” said Peter Hart, a spokesman for Food and Water Watch, a Washington-based group that promotes clean energy alternatives. Meanwhile, about 30 anti-abortion activists who oppose Clinton’s presidential bid marched in West Philadelphia. Temperatures that could hit the high 90s were a concern. Mayor Jim Kenney issued a heat warning Saturday for
both residents and convention visitors. “If you are demonstrating when a thunderstorm warning occurs, safety personnel will direct you to the nearest sheltered area. You will be able to return to your demonstration area as soon as the safety threat has passed,” he said. The high temperatures were expected to stick around all week. Misting tents, medics and bottled water will be available at FDR Park and along South Broad Street, where protesters planned to gather. Kenney urged demonstrators to refrain from camping for safety reasons, given the likelihood of storms and high temperatures, even in the overnight hours. The city did not issue any camping permits, he said. For security measures, officials were banning
Deputy remembered for courage Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. — The Baton Rouge sheriff’s deputy killed last Sunday ran to help another officer when he could have stayed safe in the convenience store where he was working off-duty, a minister said at his funeral Saturday. “It’s a remarkable story, the story of Brad Garafola,” said the Rev. Jeff Ginn, lead pastor at Istrouma Baptist Church. “He had a place of security ... a place where he could hide. He left that place of safety.” Garafola and two Baton Rouge police officers were killed outside the B-Quik convenience store by 29-year-old gunman Gavin Long, who was killed by police. Three other officers were wounded. Sheriff Sid Gautreaux told mourners Saturday that one remains in critical condition and another faces a third operation on his shattered arm. All 1,500 seats were filled in Istrouma Baptist Church, where a public funeral was held for Garafola. The walls were lined with additional mourners, many of them police who had come from across the country. A funeral Mass was
“He had a place of security ... a place where he could hide. He left that place of safety.”

Poll: Support growing for stricter laws on weapons
The Rev. Jeff Ginn celebrated earlier at a Catholic church for Garafola’s family and friends, according to the family’s obituary. Gov. John Bel Edwards said strength and courage seem to have defined Garafola’s life and death. Gautreaux said he was “courageous, compassionate, fearless, fair, brave and benevolent.” His brother-in-law, Jaye Cooper, said people called Garafola “the neighborhood husband” because he cut grass, caught snakes and did other chores for people around the community. “He never asked anything for what he did,” Cooper said. He said Garafola died “doing what Brad had always done — trying to help someone else.” During two hours of visitation before the funeral, a line of mourners snaked through church hallways, out the back door and into the parking lot. It included scores of officers from around

Louisiana and from coast to coast. Two police officers and two sheriff’s deputies came from the Seattle, Washington area. Bellevue police Officer Paul Dill said their chief feels it’s important to honor brother and sister officers. He said the department sends an honor guard contingent to every out-of-state death in the line of duty. Early arrivals for Garafola’s service included a deputy who worked with him in the department’s foreclosure division. He was dressed in Scottish regalia for a pipe band which played “Amazing Grace” outside the church after four helicopters flew over in salute. Deputy Greg McLean described Garafola as a generous family man. When another deputy in the department was losing hair to chemotherapy, McLean said, “Brad said, ‘OK, we’re going to shave our heads together.’ And he did.”
Kaine brings steady hand to ticket RICHMOND, Va. — Nerdy? Sure. Boring? Never. Hillary Clinton’s running mate, U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, has been described by critics as a snoozer of a choice who could fail to inspire the more liberal wing of the Democratic Party, blue collar workers and others. But friends and former staff say the caricature of vanilla Kaine is far off base. Instead, they describe a deep thinker with a light touch — a person who reads dense books on philosophy for fun but also jams on harmonica with any band that will
large trucks and other vehicles from stretches of Interstate 95 and other highways in and around the city, and closing some highway ramps near the arena. Downtown, the host committee for the DNC has wrapped many of the large construction sites remaking the city in heavy cloth, or “scrims,” emblazoned with famous political quotes. “Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly,” reads a quote from President John. F. Kennedy at the underconstruction Love Park. Former Gov. Ed Rendell, the host committee chairman, called the scrims unveiled Saturday “a fun and educational way to showcase the city’s productivity while also beautifying the sites as we prepare for the eyes of the world to focus on us next week.”
let him play along. “He’s a lot of things, but boring isn’t one of them,” said Beau Cribbs, a former personal assistant who spent long days with Kaine when he was governor of Virginia. Friends and supporters believe Kaine’s varied interests and personal background — he’s a Harvard Law grad with a blue collar upbringing who served as a Catholic missionary — will help him connect to voters around the country. But they say what’s most appealing is that he’s not wedded to a political life. “He does not need anybody’s title,” said

Tom Wolf, a former law partner and longtime friend. “You could sit next to him on a crosscountry flight, and he would never tell you that he was a Virginia governor or a U.S. senator.” Supporters said Kaine is motivated by deep convictions and his Roman Catholic faith. Wolf said one of Kaine’s personal heroes is Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German theologian who was part of a resistance movement against the Nazis. “I do what I do for spiritual reasons,” Kaine, who declined an interview with The Associated Press, said on C-SPAN last month.
Americans increasingly favor tougher gun laws by margins that have grown wider after a steady drumbeat of shootings in recent months, but they also are pessimistic that change will happen anytime soon, according to a new Associated PressGfK poll. Nearly two-thirds of respondents expressed support for stricter laws, with majorities favoring nationwide bans on the sale of semi-automatic assault weapons such as the AR15 and on the sale of highcapacity magazines holding 10 or more bullets. The percentage of Americans who want such laws is the highest since the AP-GfK poll started asking the question in 2013, a survey taken about 10 months after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, that killed 20 children and six educators. High-profile shootings also appear to have taken a toll on Americans’ sense of safety. Strong majorities of those polled expressed some degree of concern that they or a relative will be a victim of gun violence or a mass shooting. “If you live in the United States in these days right now, you have to be concerned,” said Milonne Ambroise, a 63-year-old administrative assistant from Decatur, Georgia. “You could be on the street somewhere. You could be at a shopping mall thinking there will be a mass shooting and you will be in the middle of it. You can’t not think about it.” Ambroise, a native of Haiti who moved to the U.S. nearly 50 years ago, said she is now much more alert and on guard whenever she is in public. “I’m looking for exits. This isn’t something I did before,” she said. “What if I have to run? Where’s the exit? Where would I go?”

Ex-KKK leader Duke seeks Senate seat BATON ROUGE, La. — Declaring “the climate of this country has moved in my direction,” white supremacist David Duke registered Friday for Louisiana’s U.S. Senate race, saying he was partially spurred by the recent shooting deaths of three law enforcement officers by a black man. “I believe my time has come,” the former Ku Klux Klan leader said after submitting his paperwork for the ballot. He added: “The people of this country, the patriotic, decent, God-fearing people of this country are now right with me.” Duke’s candidacy comes one day after Donald Trump accepted the GOP nomination for president, and Duke said he’s espoused principles for years that are similar to the themes Republicans are now supporting in Trump’s campaign, on issues such as immigration and trade. He said Americans are “embracing the core issues I have fought for my entire life.” Duke, 66, is registered with the GOP, but Republicans at the state and federal level quickly denounced his Senate bid. Roger Villere, chairman of the Republican Party of Louisiana, said in a statement the party “will play an active role in opposing” him, calling Duke a “hate-filled fraud who does not embody the values of the Republican Party.”
State won’t enforce new abortion rules NEW ORLEANS — Louisiana officials have agreed not to enforce several new restrictions on abortion pending a judge’s decision on whether to block the laws. The restrictions include a requirement for a 72-hour waiting period for many women, and a ban on a common second-trimester procedure called dilation and evacuation. They were to take effect Aug. 1. Two clinics and three doctors filed a July 1 lawsuit against the new laws. In court records filed last week, the state sought more time to evaluate the lawsuit and agreed it won’t enforce the restrictions until a judge decides whether to grant a preliminary injunction blocking the law. That decision is months away. Baton Rouge-based U.S. Magistrate Judge Richard Bourgeois Jr. signed an order Friday giving Louisiana until Dec. 16 to respond to the lawsuit. Legislative supporters of the new laws say they were meant to safeguard women’s health. Opponents say they are unconstitutional hurdles for women seeking abortions.
The lawsuit was filed after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that it is unconstitutional to impose medically unnecessary rules that place an undue burden on access to abortion. That decision overturned a Texas law requiring hospital admitting privileges for abortion doctors. In Louisiana, the new laws would extend a 24-hour waiting period to 72 hours, although the 24-hour wait would remain for women living 150 miles or more from the nearest abortion provider.
Dealers say VW has emissions fix ready DETROIT — Volkswagen’s plan to fix most of its 2-liter diesel engines that cheat on emissions tests includes a computer software update, two dealers who were briefed on the matter by executives say, and also a larger catalytic converter to trap harmful nitrogen oxide. The dealers said Friday that limited details of the plan were revealed last week by Volkswagen of America Chief Operating Officer Mark McNabb. One dealer said the group was told that early testing of a small sample of repaired cars showed that the fix made “no discernable difference” in the cars’ mileage, horsepower or torque. Both dealers say they were told that more testing was needed and that the plans still had to be approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board.

But it also shows pessimism that change will happen anytime soon.

32.2 million watch Trump at convention LOS ANGELES — The Nielsen company says an estimated 32.2 million people watched Donald Trump deliver his GOP nomination ac-
Across the State
ceptance speech. Thursday’s audience topped the 30.3 million who watched nominee Mitt Romney’s 2012 speech but fell well short of John McCain’s audience of 38.9 million at the 2008 Republican convention. This year’s tally reflects viewership across 10 commercial networks, Nielsen said Friday, topped by Fox News Channel with 9.4 million viewers. The channel’s triumph came the same day that its founder and chief, Roger Ailes, resigned amid a former anchorwoman’s claims of workplace misconduct. For the closing hour of the four-day convention, CNN drew 5.5 million viewers; NBC, 4.6 million; ABC, 3.9 million; CBS, 3.8 million; and MSNBC, 3 million.
Men charged with trying to join ISIS MIAMI — Authorities say three Florida men planned to travel to Syria and become fighters for the Islamic State. Federal prosecutors said in a news release Friday that 52-yearold Gregory Hubbard, 31-year-old Dayne Christian and 50-yearold Darren Jackson of Palm Beach County are charged with conspiring to join the Islamic State. They were arrested Thursday. An FBI report says the three told an informant last year about plans to go to Syria, and spoke approvingly of terror attacks in Orlando, San Bernardino, California, and elsewhere. It also says they talked about attacking the White House or Pentagon but took no specific steps.
Judge likely to deny Trump suit request SAN DIEGO — A federal judge said Friday that he is inclined to deny a request by Donald Trump’s lawyers to dismiss a lawsuit that accuses the Republican presidential nominee of defrauding customers at the now-defunct Trump University. U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel did not elaborate on his thinking during a lengthy hearing in San Diego — one day after Trump accepted the Republican nomination for president of the United States. Trump’s attorney, Daniel Petrocelli, urged the judge to reconsider, calling the lawsuit a “gross overreach” of federal civil racketeering statutes. He told the judge the plaintiffs have failed to show that Trump himself orchestrated allegedly misleading marketing claims. “He did not run Trump University. He was not the chief operating officer. He did not direct the day-to-day affairs,” Petrocelli said. “The idea that he is somehow at the center of it is not supported by the evidence in the case.”
Associated Press
Group asked Bryant for objections law JACKSON — Emails disclosed in a lawsuit over a blocked Mississippi law that protects religious objections to same-sex marriage show a Christian legal group asked Gov. Phil Bryant to institute the protections through an executive order in 2015. The emails were filed in court this week by opponents who persuaded a federal judge to block the law before it took effect. The plaintiffs say the emails show that House Bill 1523 reflects the “sectarian Christian values” of the Alliance Defending Freedom and other groups that supported it, making it unconstitutional. U.S District Judge Carlton Reeves blocked the law less than an hour before it would have taken effect July 1. Gov. Phil Bryant is appealing that order and has asked Reeves to let the law take effect in the meantime.
Marine Resources chief dies of cancer BILOXI — A member of the Mississippi Commission on Marine Resources has died. The agency confirms Ernie Zimmerman, of Waveland, died Thursday of cancer. He was 54. Executive Director Jamie Miller, in a statement Friday, said Zimmerman was a passionate advocate for Mississippi marine resources and shared that passion with everyone around him. Zimmerman served on the CMR for nearly three years and also represented nonprofit environmental organizations. Survivors include his wife of 31-years, Kim Scafidi, and two daughters, Rachael and Gabrielle.
Killing suspect faces other charges first WAVELAND — A man accused of killing a man in Waveland will face charges in Louisiana first. Authorities say 28-year-old Drew Daniel Bourgeois, of Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, remains in custody in Jefferson Parish, where he faces drug and firearm charges. Waveland Police Chief David Allen says once that case ends, Bourgeois will be brought to Waveland on the murder warrant. Bourgeois faces a firstdegree murder charge in the slaying of Jeremy Fountain, who was found dead July 11 in the woods in Shoreline Park. The Sun Herald reports it’s unclear how long it will be before Bourgeois is extradited.

K. Davis, in a news release Friday, said James Bell Jr. of Choctaw, Mississippi, will be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Daniel Jordan III on Oct. 17. He faces up to life in prison and a $250,000. Bell pleaded guilty to a crime that occurred in the Pearl River community of the Choctaw Indian Reservation near Philadelphia, Mississippi. Further details of the case were not provided.
Former bank officer gets 2 years’ prison GREENVILLE — A former vice president of Water Valley’s Mechanics Bank has been sentenced to two years in federal prison and ordered to repay $3.35 million. William J. Pullen will report to prison Sept. 19 after he was sentenced earlier this month by U.S. District Judge Debra Brown. He pleaded guilty to one count of bank fraud in February. Pullen faced up to 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine. Prosecutors dismissed a theft and embezzlement count as part of the plea agreement. Court papers show Pullen, acting as a loan officer, borrowed money in the names of unsuspecting bank customers between 2009 and 2014. Pullen would take some of the money for himself and use some of it to make payments on the loans he had improperly made.
Two fishing seasons closed through year BILOX — Two recreational fishing seasons in Mississippi will remain closed through Dec. 31. The Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, in a statement Friday, said the fishing seasons for Greater Amberjack and Gray Triggerfish will be closed in Mississippi territorial waters for the remainder of the calendar year.
Medical center pays missing laptop fine JACKSON — Officials at the University of Mississippi Medical Center said Friday they have paid a $2.75 million penalty to the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as part of an agreement to resolve security problems found after the 2013 disappearance of a laptop computer that contained health information for as many as 10,000 people. The federal agency said UMMC concluded, after an investigation, that a visitor to the intensive care unit probably stole the laptop after asking to borrow it. Because the laptop could access the medical center’s wireless network, whoever took it could get to the data after entering a generic user name and password. UMMC officials say there is no evidence that health information was accessed or disclosed.
Investigation begins in death of inmate TUNICA — The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is investigating the death of an inmate at the Tunica County Detention Facility. WREG-TV reports 37-year-old Donald Clay was found dead in his cell Wednesday. He was arrested earlier that day on a domestic violence charge. Asst. Chief Deputy Cedric Davis says Clay was placed in a holding
cell and when officers checked on him later, he was dead. Davis says emergency personnel treated Davis, but he could not be revived. All deaths in the facility are first investigated as a homicide until proven otherwise.
Mississippi payrolls drop again in June JACKSON — Mississippi employers cut workers from payrolls for the third straight month in June, although the jobless rate held steady as people stopped seeking work. Used by many economists as a top indicator, payrolls fell almost 5,000 in May. Payrolls remain about 6,000 above June 2015 levels, but year-over-year increases are narrowing. A separate survey shows Mississippi’s unemployment rate held steady from May to June at 5.9 percent. That’s down from 6.4 percent in June 2015. The number of people reporting jobs fell. Total unemployment was level at 75,000, as people left the workforce. Mississippi had June’s eighth-highest jobless rate among states, with Alaska worst at 6.7 percent. The nationwide jobless rate was 4.9 percent.
Swarm of West Nile mosquitoes in state JACKSON — The Mississippi State Department of Health has identified an unusually large swarm of mosquitoes carrying the West Nile Virus in Hinds County. Out of the 13 mosquito trappings conducted in Hinds County and in Jackson, 11 of those have been found to contain mosquitoes carrying the virus. Dr. Thomas Dobbs, Mississippi’s state epidemiologist, said in a news release those findings are alarming but points out that there’s no specific reason for those results. In order to avoid mosquito bites, MSDH suggests removing pools of standing water where mosquitoes breed around yards and homes, to wear clothing that is long, loose and light colored, and to use EPA-approved mosquito repellent containing DEET while outdoors.
Natchez planners delay on billboards NATCHEZ — The Natchez Planning Commission has voted to again postpone action on proposed changes to the city’s billboard ordinance. City Planner Riccardo Giani said Thursday the draft text amendment to the city’s billboard regulations has been completed, but is awaiting review from legal counsel. The Natchez Democrat reports the proposed changes to the billboard regulations include doubling the required distance between signs, reducing the maximum allowable size of a billboard, adding language that specifically outlaws double-decker boards and enforcing site-specific placement regulations. The text amendment came at the request of the board of aldermen, which placed a moratorium on all new billboard applications in April and asked Giani to prepare a recommendation based on what similar cities in the state have done to regulate large outdoor signs.

The Hot Rod Shop will celebrate the life of Michael Johnson by carrying on the legacy of his love of restoring classic vehicles. Johnson died tragically in a traffic accident at the Rockabilly Festival in Selmer, Tenn. Johnson’s children, Wes and Brittany Johnson, and former shop employee Jeremy Bumpus thought the best way to honor the Hot Rod Shop owner was to continue the business of restoring old vehicles. “Dad loved cars and he worked hard to build up the shop,” said Johnson. “He was able to turn a job into something he loved … not many people can say they did that.” Johnson and Brittany wanted “to keep the shop up and running,” accord-
ing to Johnson. “The employees there are important to us, so we put together a plan to talk with a couple of people who might be interested,” added Johnson. Jeremy was the name who stood out. “Jeremy had worked for dad for 12 years and I knew how dad felt about him,” said Johnson. “Everything just came together.” Bumpus was Michael Johnson’s “main guy” over a dozen years before becoming the co-host of “Truck Tech” – a television series which airs on Spike TV. “Mike’s plan was to have me take over once he retired,” said Bumpus. The two talked about the plan again just a few weeks prior to Michael’s death. “He asked me when I was coming back,” said
Bumpus. Bumpus jokingly responded “he was probably going to come back and open a hot rod shop across the street from Johnson.” “Michael just laughed and said ‘let’s stick to the plan,’” added Bumpus. “They (Michael and Jeremy) were close,” added Wes Johnson. “Dad would be really happy the way things turned out.” Bumpus thinks so too. “Mike meant the world to me … he was one of my best friends,” said Bumpus. “Wes knew the relationship we had and I don’t think he wanted anyone else to run the shop.” Bumpus, who comes back to town on the weekends, has some big plans for the shop. “I want to start pushing our cars on television and in magazines,” he said.
“We want to be able to advertise our cars nationally and get bigger and better.” Wes and Brittany have no doubt the shop will continue to be successful under Bumpus. “The quality of work is going to stay the same,” said Wes. “Things are going to be better than ever with Jeremy at the helm.” One project the trio of Wes, Jeremy and Brittany plan on working together is to finish a 1971 Plymouth Cuda owned by Michael. “Good comes out of bad,” said Wes. “This is one of those good things and God has helped us through it … we know dad’s legacy will live on and he will be proud.” The Hot Rod Shop is located on U.S. Highway 72 East near Lake Hill Motors.

NEW YORK — Too busy with your real life to play the hit augmented reality game “Pokemon Go”? For a price, some entrepreneurs will play the game for you. New ads are popping up on Craigslist nearly every day from people who say they will log on to your “Pokemon Go” account and effectively run up your score while you are stuck at work or sitting in class. On a recent July afternoon, two 24-year-old Pokemon “trainers,” Lewis Gutierrez and Jordan Clark, walked through Brooklyn’s Prospect Park with their eyes glued to their phones, tapping and swiping away to catch virtual Pokemon for clients paying about $20 per
hour for the service. Gutierrez, who described himself as a welder and writer, said he began by helping relatives with the game after it was released in the U.S. in early July. Then he put a post on Craigslist advertising his services professionally. He said he was immediately inundated with requests from potential customers and had to recruit Clark, a part-time wine purveyor, to help. “I couldn’t even do it by myself,” Gutierrez said. “I had two phones. I was doing, like, ten-hour days and I got my friend Jordan to come along with me. And now it looks like we are going to have to hire another person. So, it’s just been booming.” The two college friends liken the service to dog walking and call them-
selves Pokewalkers. And they aren’t the only ones getting in the game. One trainer in London offers to boost your Pokemon account up to Level 20, which is very high, for a price of $185. Others offer Uber-like driving services with the promise of taking a player to some of the hottest Pokemon hunting grounds around the city. Played on smartphones, “Pokemon Go” has been a phenomenon since its release. The game involves going to real-world locations to chase virtual characters from the classic Nintendo game. Paying people to play a game for you might seem to defy common sense, but Gutierrez and Clark say clients come to them mainly for two reasons. They want to compete in the game at a high
level, but they don’t have time to roam the city and play the game all day. Or, they are getting ready for a “Pokedate.” “It’s a good first date for Tinder,” said Clark, referring to the location-based dating app. “A lot of people are meeting up that way.” Some want to impress their potential partners by being in the game at a respectable level. Leveling-up services aren’t unique to Pokemon Go. The clandestine practice already occurs with online multiplayer role-playing games such as “World of Warcraft” and “Destiny,” where paid professionals help clients gain the necessary experience and resources in the game to compete at a high level when they are actually playing for themselves.

Postal workers meet challenge of delivering kids’ postcards DEAR ABBY: While our daughter was on vacation with our small grandkids, she bought them postcards and suggested they write us about their vacation. She said she laughed when the kids finished with the cards because she hadn’t realized they didn’t know how to write a postcard. Abigail The chilVan Buren dren had turned the Dear Abby cards sideways and had written across the entire card from top to bottom. Not wanting to hurt their feelings, she found a half-inch space on one side and in tiny print wrote our names and address. I would like to thank the postal workers in both Springfield and Wales, Massachusetts, and in Hartford, Connecticut, for caring, for taking the time to search for our address and forwarding these wonderful memories to us. -- THANKFUL GRANDMA J. DEAR THANKFUL: I’m pleased to pass along your
message to the caring postal workers who ensured that you receive the postcards. They obviously take pride in their work. When I started writing this reply, I thought I’d begin by quoting the postal workers’ official motto: “Neither rain nor hail nor sleet nor snow,” etc. Then, unsure of the correct wording, I decided to look it up online. What I found fascinated me, and I hope it will you, too. Here’s the gist: Contrary to popular belief, the U.S. Postal Service has no motto. The familiar sentence “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds” is actually just the inscription found on the General Post Office in New York City at 8th Avenue and 33rd Street. The inscription was provided by the architects who designed the building. The sentence appears in a translation of the account of the fifth-century B.C. Greek historian Herodotus and describes the expedition of the Greeks against the Persians. The Persians had a system of mounted postal couriers, and he was describing the fidelity with which their work was done.
DEAR ABBY: Several months ago I spoke to a doctor friend about some medical issues my wife was experiencing. He specializes in this particular area. When he advised my wife to come into the office, I told him it was not a good time for us financially. He said not to worry about it. We made the appointment, and about two months later the bill arrived. We are on a high-deductible health plan and the bill is not cheap. How can I discuss this with my friend without offending? I don’t want to sound presumptuous -- I know this is his livelihood -- but we would have stuck it out until we were better off financially. -- FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY DEAR “DIFFICULTY”: Call your friend the doctor and explain the situation. If you do, he may reduce the amount of his bill or, alternatively, agree to a payment plan that you can manage. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Must there be but one winner and one loser? There are many competitions in which this is the case, but you’re not likely to be involved in that kind of game today. You’ll win by being inclusive. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t have to do the best job of anyone around; you only have to do the job to the best of your ability. That will be enough. It’s more important to get it done and get it in than it is to get it perfect. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your friend doesn’t want to ask you for too much, out of fear of seeming rude. Offer more if you can give more. Your graciousness will be appreciated more than you know. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Because of your buoyant spirit, everyone around you will have the sensation of feeling lifted. For some the lift is out of sadness and into neutrality; others will go from happiness to sheer joy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Beware of the tendency to give up too early. This isn’t a time to cut your losses; rather, with a little more faith and stamina, you can push through a self-imposed limitation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is no need to blaze a new path. Others came through this way long before you did and their trail markings and journals will teach you what to avoid and how to make it through in the best possible way. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). For many people, memories of adolescence and early adulthood are the most vivid of all. They certainly have formed you, as evidenced by something you are still doing today with origins back in that time. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Someone wants to include you in a clique. Think twice about this tempting offer, because it will be difficult to pull out of the group once you align. Are these people you would hope to become like?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You take your artistic and personal growth very seriously and are willing to go to great lengths to improve. If the lessons happen to be difficult or uncomfortable, they won’t be for very long. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You shine. As it is with many things that shine, they get used to their own luminosity and, being inside of themselves, don’t notice their own glow as they move through the darkness. Others will see it, though. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Either you find out what is needed and wanted then build toward that appetite, or you can create the appetite first. When you decide to apply your persuasive powers, you can be irresistible. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Decide what you most want to communicate, then illustrate it with a story and/or with your entire manner of being. By waking your truth remind yourself who you are and move others.

NE baseball adds Wilcher BY BLAKE D. LONG NEMCC Sports Information
BOONEVILLE — A threetime state champion has made the decision to stay close to home and anchor the baseball recruiting class at Northeast Mississippi Community College. Former University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) signee Jacob Wilcher has inked his National Letter of Intent (NLI) to become the newest addition to the rising Tiger baseball program. “We’ve always maintained a good relationship with him and just always tried to cheer him on,” said Northeast head coach Richy Harrelson.
“We’re really excited that he’s here. It just fit for him. “We feel like he’s one of the better players to come through this area in a while. He’s been a hot name ever since he was a ninth grader. He knows what it feels like to win at a high level.” Wilcher originally signed with the Rebels last November prior to his senior campaign at Kossuth High School. However, after reevaluation he felt that enrolling at Northeast was the best option for him and his family. “I’ve been visiting a lot of schools and it finally feels good to get it off my chest,”
Wilcher said. “The coaches are doing great things. I can’t wait to get down here in the fall and start my journey. It’s great to be a Tiger.” Wilcher recently completed a highly decorated career with the Aggies that included three Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) Class 3A championships over a four-year span. The 6-3, 205-pounder was ranked as the second best outfielder and the No. 12 overall prospect in state of Mississippi for the graduating class of 2016 by Perfect Game. He was a five-year starter at Kossuth and compiled an
outstanding .448 career batting average. Wilcher added phenomenal numbers of 215 hits, 201 runs, 141 RBIs, 81 stolen bases, 51 doubles, 27 home runs, eight triples and a .550 on-base percentage. Wilcher was named to the MaxPreps Small Schools All-American first-team and the Rawlings-Perfect Game All-American honorable mention team after his final campaign with the Aggies in which he posted career-highs of a .529 batting average, 64 hits, 55 runs, 37 RBIs, 23 stolen bases, 17 doubles and four triples.

Dak Prescott faces trial for DUI next week Associated Press
STARKVILLE, Miss. — Former Mississippi State University quarterback Dak Prescott goes to trial Wednesday for a driving under the influence charge after Starkville Municipal Court Judge Rodney Faver denied a motion to dismiss the case. The Commercial Dispatch reports Prescott was charged with speeding in March after he was pulled over for driving 41 mph in a 25 mph zone. He was also charged with DUI first — a misdemeanor — after admitting drinking at least one beer that night. Prescott was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in this year’s NFL draft. At MSU, he broke 38 school records, passing for 9,376 yards and 70 touchdowns. He also rushed for 2,521 yards, including 41 touchdowns.

Griffey Jr., Piazza set to enter Hall of Fame The Associated Press
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — When they were drafted nearly three decades ago, one was on everybody’s baseball radar, the other a blip at best, picked almost as an afterthought in the final round thanks to a recommendation by an important family friend. That their baseball paths started so differently — the
Seattle Mariners made Ken Griffey Jr. the first pick of the 1987 amateur draft and a year later the Dodgers selected Mike Piazza on the 62nd round with the 1,390th pick, ahead of only five other players — in the end didn’t matter one bit. Two players who wore their hats backward a lot — one for fun, the other because he had to — and left indelible imprints on the
game will be rewarded Sunday with induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. “It’s incredibly powerful,” said Piazza, by far the lowest draft pick in history elected to the Hall. “This whole year for me has been so euphoric. It’s such an honor.” Dubbed “The Natural” for his effortless excellence at the plate and in center field, Griffey, the first No. 1 pick to
be selected for enshrinement, hasn’t followed form since his selection in January. He’s been feted in Seattle, which likely still has a major league team because of his tenure there, served as honorary starter for NASCAR’s biggest race, the Daytona 500, and played a lot of golf to avoid thinking or talking about his Please see GRIFFEY | 11A
With new veterans, Saints enter camp confident BY BRETT MARTEL Associated Press
Roman Harper hopes he can improve the air quality in the New Orleans Saints’ locker room this season — metaphorically speaking, that is. “The younger guys, they need to feel success, they need to know what it smells like,” Harper said, alluding to the mantra, “Smell greatness,” from New Orleans’ 2009 championship season.
The Saints — who open training camp in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, on July 27 — haven’t entirely stunk up the Superdome in recent seasons; they’ve been competitive in many games. But in going 7-9 in both 2014 and ‘15, they’ve fallen far short of the standard they set when they made the playoffs four times in five seasons from 2009 to 2013. Harper, entering his 11th
NFL season, was part of all of those playoff teams before leaving in free agency for Carolina, which made the playoffs in 2014 and advanced to the Super Bowl last season. Some of New Orleans’ roster moves this offseason, such bringing back Harper and acquiring eighth-year middle linebacker James Laurinaitis from the Rams in free agency, were made
with an eye toward finding a better balance of young talent and veteran leadership — particularly on a defense that has ranked second-tolast in the NFL the past two seasons. When New Orleans concluded offseason workouts this summer, its most accomplished players sounded confident that the Saints were Please see SAINTS | 11A
Froome heads to Paris to secure third Tour title Associated Press
MORZINE, France — After two crashes, a bloodied knee and even a run up legendary Mont Ventoux, a relieved Chris Froome can cruise into Paris on Sunday and secure his third Tour de France title in four years. Froome kept his lead intact during the final day of climbing — and descending — in the Alps on Saturday and heads to the mostly ceremo-
nial finish on the ChampsElysees with a comfortable advantage of 4 minutes, 5 seconds over Romain Bardet of France. “It feels like it’s been a roller coaster,” Froome said. “It’s just been an amazing race where I’ve really taken on the race.” The highlights for Froome were a daring downhill attack and stage victory in the eighth leg and getting into a
late breakaway amid strong crosswinds in Stage 11. “You just can’t script moments like that,” Froome said. “It’s bike racing at its best. ... I really felt like a kid again.” Froome was also slowed by a motor bike crash on Ventoux, prompting him to run up the road when he saw that his bike was damaged. He then fell hard on a slippery descent in Stage 19 on Friday.
Wearing bandages on his right knee and elbow for Saturday’s stage, Froome was never in trouble as his top lieutenants at Team Sky escorted him up and down each of the day’s four climbs. “It’s been a really intense race. ... It was incredible to cross the last finish line with my teammates,” Froome said. “They were with me for Please see FROOME | 12A

The outfielder also earned American Family Insurance All-USA and Clarion-Ledger All-State honors following his senior season. Wilcher was the Mississippi Association of Coaches (MAC) Class 3A Player of the Year as well. He had six multiple hit performances and nine RBIs in 12 playoff games this year to finish his tenure at Kossuth with another state title. Wilcher and the Aggies swept St. Andrews Episcopal School in the MHSAA Class 3A championship series at Trustmark Park in Pearl. “I want to keep on getting better and working harder to be successful at this level too,” said Wilcher. “I’ve got to keep that mindset in order to

become a better player and person.” He was recognized as the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal Player of the Year at the conclusion of the 2014 campaign. Wilcher was also a Daily Journal AllArea selection for four consecutive seasons. Wilcher is solid defensively as well. He made only two errors in 97 games between his sophomore and senior years for a .983 fielding percentage in 116 total chances during that incredible stretch. He played for the wellrenowned Dulins Dodgers club during the summer and fall. Wilcher, who was also a recipient of the Clarion-Ledger’s prestigious Dandy Dozen award, was committed to Ole Miss since his sophomore campaign.

induction. When he visited Cooperstown in late May for a mini-orientation, Griffey chose not to take the customary introductory tour of the Hall that’s become sort of a tradition in recent years. He did attend a series of brief meetings with Hall of Fame staff at a separate location in the village and said he wanted his first walk through the front doors of the stately building on Main Street to be with his kids. “I wanted to share the moment with them,” Griffey said. “It was important for me to be able to do it with them and not just by myself. I just felt that I wanted to be a member of the Hall of Fame to walk in there.” Induction day promises to be an extremely emotional moment for Griffey because his mom, Birdie, and father, former Cincinnati Reds star Ken Sr., both cancer
survivors and integral to his rise to stardom, also will be part of the celebration. Griffey played 22 bigleague seasons with the Mariners, Reds and White Sox and was named on a record 99.32 percent of ballots cast, an affirmation of sorts for his squeakyclean performance during baseball’s Steroids Era. A 13-time All-Star and 10-time Gold Glove Award winner, Griffey hit 630 home runs, sixth all-time, and drove in 1,836 runs. Griffey also was named American League MVP in 1997, drove in at least 100 runs in eight seasons, and won seven Silver Slugger Awards. In the 1995 ALDS, he became just the second player in major league history to hit five home runs in a single postseason series (Reggie Jackson of the Yankees in the 1977 World Series is the other).

developing the kind of cohesion that can make the difference between climbing into the playoff picture and languishing in mediocrity. “Everybody is talented, so what separates you?” quarterback Drew Brees asked rhetorically. “It’s discipline. It is work ethic. It is togetherness. It is competitiveness. It is toughness. I feel like we have all that with the guys, both veteran and young.” Here are some things to watch as the Saints assemble for camp at the Greenbrier Resort: Determined Drew: Brees is in the last year of a five-year, $100 million contract and wants an extension, but has asserted that his contract status won’t affect his performance. History backs him up. The previous time Brees went into the final year of a contract was 2011, when he passed for what was then an NFLrecord 5,476 yards, as well as 46 touchdowns. And while Brees is getting older, he led the NFL in yards passing last season with 4,870 — down from his career high, certainly, but still elite. “Drew’s been in this situation before,” Saints coach Sean Payton said. “I don’t envision it to be a distraction.” Allen’s time: If defensive coordinator Dennis Allen can ensure the right number of players are on the field every play and are
lined up properly, he’ll have fixed two problems Payton cited with the unit a year ago. Allen, who took over New Orleans’ defense after coordinator Rob Ryan’s firing in the second half of last season, is coming off his first full offseason in charge and has sought to adjust New Orleans’ scheme to promote better organization and suit the strengths of his players. “You’re able to instill your scheme and you’re able to instill your culture,” Allen said. “You are not quite as able to do that when you take over in the middle of a season.” “Like anything else, we’re starting from ground zero. We’re going to be judged on what we do from this point forward.” Peat’s performance: Payton has said he envisions 2015 top draft pick Andrus Peat as a starter on the offensive line this season. The question is whether it’s at tackle, where he played at Stanford, or at guard, where the Saints need someone to step in for Jahri Evans, who was released during the offseason.

IOC poised to rule on Russia’s status for Rio BY STEPHEN WILSON Associated Press
LONDON — As the clock ticks down to the opening ceremony in Rio de Janeiro, international Olympic leaders are facing a seminal moment. With the credibility of the fight against doping on the line and the image of the Olympic movement at stake, the IOC will hold a crucial meeting Sunday to consider whether to ban Russia entirely from the Rio Games because of systematic, state-sponsored cheating. Short of a blanket ban, the International Olympic Committee could leave it to individual sports federations to decide on a caseby-case basis whether to allow Russian athletes in their events. The doping crisis represents one of the Olympic movement’s biggest challenges since the boycott era of the 1980s, and how it plays out may well define Thomas Bach’s IOC presidency. The IOC’s ruling 15-member executive board will meet via teleconference to weigh the unprecedented step of excluding Russia as a whole from the games. Bach and others have spoken of a need to balance “individual justice” versus “collective punishment.” Time is of the essence, with the games set to open in Rio on Aug. 5. Russia’s track and field athletes have already been banned by the IAAF, the sport’s governing body, following allegations of state-directed doping — a decision that was upheld Thursday by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Calls for a complete ban on Russia have intensified since Monday when Richard McLaren, a Canadian lawyer commissioned by the World Anti-Doping
NE
IS T WL
Agency, issued a report accusing Russia’s sports ministry of overseeing a vast doping program of its Olympic athletes. McLaren’s investigation, based heavily on evidence from former Moscow doping lab director Grigory Rodchenkov, affirmed allegations of brazen manipulation of Russian urine samples at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, but also found that state-backed doping had involved 28 summer and winter sports from 2011 to 2015. Bach said the findings showed a “shocking and unprecedented attack on the integrity of sports and on the Olympic Games” and declared the IOC “will not hesitate to take the toughest sanctions available against any individual or organization implicated.” Russia also faces a possible ban from the Paralympic Games. Citing evidence in McLaren’s report of doping among Russian Paralympic athletes, the International Paralympic Committee said Friday it will decide next month whether to exclude the country from the Sept. 7-18 event in Rio. The decision for the IOC is loaded with geopolitical ramifications. Never has a country been kicked out of the Olympics for doping violations. And Vladimir Putin’s Russia is a sports powerhouse, a huge country seeking to reaffirm its status on the world stage, and a major player in the Olympic movement. Many international Olympic officials and federation leaders have close ties to Russia, which has portrayed the exclusion of its track athletes and calls for a complete ban as part of a political, Western-led campaign.

to take control of it, and show your leadership. The hesitation makes it looks worse and worse.” If the IOC hands the authority to the sports federations, they may not have all the information they need from the McLaren report to act. Some sports, such as gymnastics, were not cited in the report and feel there is no justification to ban Russians. And the federations all have different rules. Wrestling accounted for 28 of the 312 positive tests that were covered up by Russia between 2011 and 2015, according to McLaren’s report. Nenad Lalovic, president of wrestling’s international federation, said he asked WADA to send him specifics but had yet to re-
ceive anything. “This is madness,” he said Saturday in a telephone interview with AP. “What can I do without any evidence? Do I have time to process these cases? Do the accused have a right to appeal? It’s a legal minefield. If I try to ban someone, they will take us to court and we will lose.” Russia is the dominant force in the sport and would enter 17 athletes for the Rio Games, where the wrestling competition starts on Aug. 14. Lalovic, a Serb who is also an IOC member, claimed the investigation had created an atmosphere of “hysteria” and he criticized former WADA president John Fahey of Australia for calling for an outright ban. “I’m not here to de-
fend Russia,” Lalovic said. “They have to pay. But everyone has to take responsibility, including WADA. It’s a no-win situation. Whatever decision the IOC makes, they will look bad.” WADA and many national anti-doping agencies and athletes’ groups have led the calls for a total Russian ban from Rio. A coalition of 14 national anti-doping agencies sent a letter to Bach saying the IOC’s initial response did not meet his pledge of the “toughest sanctions available.” The group called on the IOC to suspend the Russian Olympic Committee and set up a task force that could allow certain Russians to compete under a neutral flag if proven to be clean.
went with (Peter) Sagan in Montpellier. I liked it very much. Chris Froome was very good, his opponents less good.” Froome is set to become the first rider to defend the Tour title since Miguel Indurain won the last of his five straight titles in 1995. Lance Armstrong was stripped of his seven consecutive titles for doping. Two-time runner-up Nairo Quintana of Colombia is third, 4:21 behind. “I still need to get the yellow jersey to Paris tomorrow but the race is done and dusted,” Froome said. Spanish rider Jon Izagirre won the rainy penultimate stage by attacking on the slippery descent from the Col de Joux Plane into Morzine. Jarlinson Pantano of Colombia finished second, 19 seconds behind Izagirre, while 2014
champion Vincenzo Nibali crossed third, 42 seconds back. All three riders were part of an early breakaway. Izagirre had enough time to clap his hands together in celebration as he crossed the line and secured his first career stage win in the Tour, having also won a stage in the 2012 Giro d’Italia. Izagirre was in front on the descent when Pantano made a slight error and had to put his left foot to the ground to regain control, which also slowed Nibali. Izagirre was clocked at 85 kph (53 mph) on the descent. “I think my parents must have been scared watching at home,” he said. “I wanted to drop Nibali because I was worried about him in a sprint. ... Beating Nibali in a downhill is something that counts in a career.”

the entire Tour.” On the final descent, which had a vertical drop of more than 700 meters (2,300 feet), Froome was extremely careful but none of his main rivals attacked. Froome, the Kenyanborn British rider who won the Tour in 2013 and 2015, then eased up just before the line and lost a few seconds to his main rivals. He let out a thin smile when he reached the finish as his Sky teammates cheered him on. “There was no surprise because Chris Froome won. But for me it was not the same as in previous years,” Tour director Christian Prudhomme said. “When he attacked in the Peyrsourde descent it was such a surprise.

Putin, citing the U.S. and Soviet-led boycotts of the 1980 and 1984 Games, said the Olympic movement “could once again find itself on the brink of a division.” Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev wrote an open letter to Bach on Friday to plead against a blanket ban. “I am worried and deeply upset by the possibility that in the case of a ban on Russian athletes competing in the Olympics, the innocent will be punished along with the guilty,” Gorbachev wrote. “For me the principle of collective punishment is unacceptable.” Bach and other Olympic officials have repeatedly cited the difference between collective and individual punishment. “It is obvious,” Bach said last week, “that you cannot punish a badminton player for infringement of rules or manipulation by an official or a lab director in the Winter Games.” For many in the anti-doping community, however, the choice is simple: The extent of state-backed doping in Russia has tainted the country’s entire sports system and the only way to ensure a level playing field is to bar the whole team, even if some innocent athletes will lose out. Former WADA president Dick Pound, a senior IOC member from Canada, accused Bach of dithering and failing to live up to his “zero tolerance” line on doping. He said the IOC will face a backlash if it decides against a full ban. “I think it will go down very badly,” Pound told The Associated Press. “I think there will be an athletes’ revolt, a public revolt, maybe even the sponsors.

Book shares tough journey through life BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez
“The Education of Kevin Powell” by Kevin Powell c.2015, Atria $15.00 287 pages You never knew what you didn’t have. There were times in your childhood when cereal was supper because there was nothing else. When birthday toys seemed gently pre-loved, hand-me-downs were new to you, and you were none the wiser. Your family didn’t have much and you never realized it then, but in the book “The Education of Kevin Powell” by Kevin Powell, getting schooled later was rough. Born in the spring of 1966, Kevin Powell entered the world and, though his mother had moved to Jersey City from “Down South” to escape it, slid directly into poverty. They shared a rat-
and-roach-infested apartment with Powell’s aunt and her son, and their usagainst-the-world closeness was “something safe, something magical…” At age 4, Powell “did not know what the word ‘drunk’ meant,” but he learned at a party, and was beaten by his mother for getting drunk-sick. At age 6, his grandfather died, but although Powell barely knew the man, he understood that he was a wife-beater. At 13, he impulsively joined a fight and lost his cousin, who angrily shunned Powell for the rest of their lives. As he grew and matured, Powell began to realize that his family was poor. His home turf was bleak and there were times when it seemed like a dead-end, but his mother told him that he needed an education to become something. She’d never hugged him. He received
no physical affection from her; in fact, she beat him regularly. She said he wasn’t “gonna make it,” but she got him a library card anyway. Books opened up his world, he hungered to read, and he decided that he wanted to be a writer. But then life intervened. Powell went to college, but his temper got him into trouble time and again. He joined a mosque, but left it just as quickly. He’d learned to hate White people, and that got him into trouble, too. He found success in the entertainment world, but he started to drink and commit petty crimes; he hit bottom, then hit it again … until a search for his lost past gave him what he needed. Imagine, if you will, that you’re in the ring with a pro-wrestler. He picks you up, and
slams you to the mat. Then he does it again. And again. That’s what it’s like to read “The Education of Kevin Powell”: a series of literary body-slams, over and over and over. Part of that effect comes from Powell’s style: there are times when he pulls out a sense of childlike innocence that’ll make you chuckle uneasily. But beware – there are teeth behind the wideeyed schtick, and his next memory gnashes them. In a way, that can be quite relentless – but it’s also very interesting and ohso-entertaining. I thought for a minute that I wouldn’t recommend this book (now out in paperback) but I ended up liking it a lot. It’s an up-and-down journey with humor and strength, and if that’s what you need, then “The Education of Kevin Powell” is what you should have.

Other aspects worthy of pride include self-reliance and a standard of excellence. Pride is an internal state of contentment. Pride is a feeling you have. It’s not
something you show off to impress others. Pride is not something you laud over others. True pride is not advertised. You don’t need to show off to others what you have done or how much you have. The pitfalls of pride begin with arrogance. When pride leads to being full of yourself, it becomes a negative. Pride does not make you better than someone else. Pride does not confer more privilege or status. All people are equal. Thinking you know what is best for others is another pitfall. Someone with this frame of mind seeks to impose their beliefs and values. They think they have all of the answers everyone else needs.
Just because you may have discovered a strategy for success which works for you does not mean it is appropriate for someone else. If what you are doing works well, the example you set will speak for itself. Other people will decide for themselves whether or not they want to follow your lead. Believing that you are in a position to change others is also a pitfall of pride. You cannot change anyone. It’s up to each individual to decide whether or not they want to change. If they do, it’s up to them to decide what changes to implement. Being proud of who you are and what you have accomplished does not put you in a position to judge
others. Each person is responsible for their own life as well as the ensuing results. There is a cause and effect relationship between behavior and outcome. Each person must find their own way. A bird experiences many benefits being able to fly. Yet, it is pointless for a bird to attempt to convince a fish that soaring has many advantages over swimming. All you can determine is what strategies work for you. Your experience does not provide you with an obligation to provide answers for others. However, sharing your experience with others can be helpful if you are asked for advice. One of the most potent forms of education
is learning from the success and failure of others. This is why experience is not the best teacher, someone else’s experience is. Always be willing to assist others with advice when asked. Never be condescending. Share your knowledge with the disclaimer, “this is what worked for me and this is what didn’t.” Actually, more is learned from failed attempts than when things go as planned. This is why the best sailors are those who have the most experience with adverse conditions. Pride becomes arrogance when you believe you have all the answers. You then proceed to tell other people what ac-
tion is necessary for them to solve their problems. Pride remains a positive when it is combined with humility. It’s easy to avoid the pitfalls of pride. Have a standard of excellence. Strive to behave in a manor you are proud of. Treat others with courtesy, dignity, and respect. When asked, share your experiences in order to be of assistance. Live and let live.

Tyler hits pause on Aerosmith to go a little country BY MARK KENNEDY AP Entertainment Writer
NEW YORK — He’s led the bad-boy rock band Aerosmith for decades, written a book, learned to parasail, and is the father of four children. But Steven Tyler had at least one more goal before hitting 70: his first solo album. “I just thought, ‘Instead of (an) Aerosmith album, why don’t I just write something here and see what I get?’” Tyler said by phone from his new home in Nashville, Tennessee. “It was something I’ve always wanted to do.” What he got is “We’re All Somebody From Somewhere,” a 15-song, twangy CD that features Tyler’s playful voice backed by such un-Aerosmith instruments as mandolin, Cajun accordion, fiddle and trombone.
“If I could achieve one thing,” he said, “it would be that I opened the door to country being allowed to rock a little bit more. As you know, no great story ever started off with ‘I had a salad last night.’ It is sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll.” Tyler co-wrote the majority of the radiofriendly tunes, from the boot-stomping “Sweet Louisiana” to the unabashed flag-waving “Red, White & You” to the power ballad “What Am I Doin’ Right?” (The album also has two song covers — “Piece of My Heart” and his own “Janie’s Got a Gun.”) The 68-year-old Tyler also leaves the world of pickups and cutoff jeans to belt out the pro-immigration title song, singing: “Some white, yellow, black, or red/ We’re all
somebody from somewhere.” Might he be getting a little political in his old age? “How do you like that?” he asked, laughing. The song, he said, is about developing empathy and understanding other people’s pain. “We’re all getting so caught up in our phones and texting. You’ve got to remember who people are. I’ve never been one to go political. It’s been more about life and spirituality.” Jaren Johnston, singer and lead guitarist for The Cadillac Three who helped produce the album, said he found Tyler eager to work with different songwriters to create songs organically, not trying to fit a genre. “For where he’s at in his career and what he’s done, who he is and what
band he’s in, and every enormo-dome he’s played all over the world, over millions and millions of records, he still has an extreme passion for whatever it is he’s doing. He’s not scared to start a new journey,” Johnston said. The album doesn’t mean the end of Aerosmith, Tyler insists. “I love Aerosmith more than anything. My kids and Aerosmith are the two biggest loves in my life,” he jokes. Tyler said the band is still together and planning to tour South America this fall. “Maybe we’ll do another record before. Maybe. I don’t know. I don’t know,” he said. He lists his accomplishments — albums, sobriety, four children and recently becoming a grandfather for the third time. “Those great joys
are in this solo record, too. I’m getting great joy out of playing with a new band and the love onstage.” There’s a tinge of frustration in Tyler’s voice when he discusses what he sacrificed for Aerosmith, writing and performing songs that range from the classic “Sweet Emotion” to the hard rock strut of “Walk This Way.” “I think I’ve been very co-dependent with Aerosmith,” Tyler said. “I was married and had kids but I couldn’t go home to my family every night because I had to save my voice for Aerosmith. And I couldn’t go eat dinner with my kids every night because I had to finish the chorus line and write the ... melody.” His relationship with Aerosmith guitarist Joe
Perry is clearly strained. Though Perry recently collapsed during a performance with his band The Hollywood Vampires, several days later Tyler still hadn’t yet spoken to Perry, his wife or managers despite being concerned. Even so, Tyler insisted: “He’s my brother.” Whatever happens to Aerosmith, Tyler is excited to be on the road supporting his own album. He might be looking at turning 70 in the near future, but he’s proved old dogs can do new tricks. “One of the things that I learned was maybe I can be an executive producer of a great television show. Maybe get a part in a movie, become a movie star,” he said. “I don’t know yet. But I can take a risk and be whatever I want. I am Peter Pan.”

Creating a new culture

Corinth Middle School is creating a new culture of positivity and praise. With lessons learned at Atlanta’s highly acclaimed Ron Clark Academy, CMS Principal Nathan Hall and teacher Beth Mitchell are changing the fabric of school life for more than 200 Corinth kids. “It’s all about teaching fair competition and re-
warding students for doing good,” said Hall. “And the results have been tremenHall dous. We believe students are now having more fun, being more Please see HOUSES | 3C

productive and learning even more both academically and socially.” It all started in May 2015 when Hall and Mitchell attended a oneday teacher training session at the Georgia academy, an actual fifth-eighth grade private school with around 100 students from various socio-economic and academic backgrounds in attendance. “When we first got there, a little fifth grade girl ran up to us. She introduced herself, shook our hands and continued to have a conversation with us as she gave us a tour,” said Hall. “It was pretty amazing how she conducted herself.” The day included visits to classrooms, question and answer sessions with teachers and a trip down the school’s two-story, indoor slide. “There was so much positive energy – lots of music and art, so much life. Our minds were going crazy as to how we could incorporate some of what we learned into our classrooms back home,” said Hall. The duo decided to implement one of the the academy’s most creative ideas – the house system. At the beginning of the 2015-16 school year, 800 students were randomly split into eight houses, very similar to those in the Harry Potter books and movies. Each house was given a different crest design, house colors and house name, all taken from Latin or Greek meanings for different attributes. Throughout the year school staff awarded students with house points for a variation of good deeds on a personal level, as well as academic
A six-week period house award was a trip to the new Corinth High School softball complex for a round of kickball. Students also enjoy a grill-out.
“It’s all about teaching fair competition and rewarding students for doing good. And the results have been tremendous. We believe students are now having more fun, being more productive and learning even more both academically and socially.” Nathan Hall Corinth Middle School principal achievement and competition wins. “As a guideline, we followed Ron Clark’s Essential 50,” said Hall. “It’s 50 rules we ask our students to learn and emulate. It’s goes beyond simple politeness, and includes learning to respect their self and others and helps foster a mature and responsible way of living in the world.” Among the 50 Essential rules included shaking hands, saying “excuse me” and “thank you”, congratulating others
when they do well and living life with no regrets. Students earned house points in various different ways. At the end of each grading period, teachers gave out house points for each “A” a student received, and in October and November, house points were awarded to students with the best attendance. “Teachers were also very mindful of their students. If a teacher saw a student doing any one of the Essential 50 rules, then they would reward

the student with a ticket. Those tickets were later turned in and counted toward house points,” said Hall. “We also had it setup where if a kid got in trouble, they would risk causing their house to lose points. Pretty soon that turned into selfmonitoring for students as they tried to help their fellow students stay out of trouble.” The House with the most points at the end of each six-week period was rewarded. “We went skating,
bowling and got to play kickball at the new softball complex,” he said. “Each six-week period house winner got a different reward. We always tried to do it during school hours – to the kids it seems like more of a reward.” To determine the house champion of the year, the school held a dodgeball tournament over a sixweek period. Each house competed with the winners earning house points and a special treat, duck taping
Hall and Assistant Principal Chris Killough to the gym wall. In the process, students also raised more than $1,000 for the Boys & Girls Club of Corinth. The dodgeball tournament helped determine the house champion for the year – Akera. CMS rented a charter bus and carried the 100 or so winning Akera students to downtown Corinth downtown restaurant, Vicari, and treated the students to a fine dining meal as the endof-year champion reward. But it’s not all about winning, making good grades or doing good deeds. Hall said he held random weekly drawing for all students. “We gave away Walmart, Subway and Gooseberry gift cards,” he said. “We even selected 16 random kids and allowed them to pick anything they wanted to eat with a $10 take-out limit.” Although the house system has only been in place at CMS for one year, Hall said he is already seeing results. “It’s unbelievable,” he said. “It’s an ownership piece – something students can be proud of. And what’s great is everything we are doing new goes right along with our Cambridge standards.” When the new school year begins August 1, a fresh batch of fifth graders will be welcomed into the middle school, where Hall and his staff will introduce them to the house system. “Middle school is a very impactful time in kids lives and that makes everything we are doing here so very important,” he said. “With the house system in place, I feel like we are helping create a new culture.”

Technology continues to transform the classroom Technology continues to evolve. With computers, tablets and smartphones, people of all ages are immersed in technology. According to the Pew Research Center, 56 percent of teens between the ages of 13 and 17 go online several times a day. Teens are not just relying on technology at home or while on the go, but they’re also doing so in school. Schools are now recognizing how influential mobile technologies are on students and how they can shape
teaching and thinking. As a result, technology is now a major component in the classroom, where educators are implementing technology to help students succeed not only in school but also after they graduate. The following are some of the tech trends in the classroom. • Internet connectivity: Students most often connect to the Internet using their mobile devices. Many schools have replaced older computer labs with tablets and other mobile devices. Students can simply sit at their individual
desks and connect directly to the Internet. Once online, students can access shared drives where assignments can be found or homework can be posted. • Tech homework: Rather than homework in the traditional sense, students are being asked to research information online and then submit assignments directly through an application like Google Classroom. Homework also may involve spending time on educational apps that help reinforce lessons learned in school that day.
• Personal mobile device access: In addition to tablets, students also have access to Internet-connected smartphones, which may even be their own phones when personal phones are allowed in the classroom. • Classroom smartboards: Described as large tablets, smartboards have all but replaced chalkboards and even dry erase boards in many schools. Teachers can present lessons through the display, and students interact with the board to answer questions.
Technology use in the classroom continues to grow as students and educators grow more accustomed to using technology in all aspects of life.Â

Three schools welcome new principals BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
Three schools in Alcorn County will see new principals at the helm when the school year kicks off in early August. With the retirement of long-time Kossuth Elementary School Princi-
pal Joe Horton, assistant principal Charla Essary will step up and take the KES principal reins. Essary’s assistant principal position will be taken by Elizabeth Wamsley, who was the principal of the now shuttered Glendale Elementary School.
Biggersville High School Principal Chad Lindamood is heading across the county to take over principal duties at Alcorn Central Middle School. Former ACMS Principal Brian Phelps will take on the duties of interven-
tion specialist and school district grant writer in the district’s central office. Lindamood’s old position as Biggersville High School principal will be taken by former assistant principal Pete Seago. Biggersville’s campus will also see the addition
of two staffers acting in assistant principals roles whenever the principal is off campus and/or to help assist with discipline, transportation and game duties. Amanda Seago will assist Biggersville Elementary School Principal

Create a great study environment at home A student’s academic performance is influenced by a host of factors, including the learning environment both inside the classroom and at home. While students may have only limited control over the environment in their classrooms, they and their parents can do much to create home study environments that are conducive to learning. • Create a “distraction-free” zone. Today’s students are inundated with distractions. Whereas students were once most distracted by radios, televisions and the great outdoors when studying at home, nowadays kids must also find time to focus on their studies with their tablets and smartphones just a stone’s throw away. When choosing a study area at home, parents can designate a “distraction-free” zone where no televisions, radios, tablets and smartphones are allowed. Children are increasingly dependent on their smartphones and tablets, and while such devices can sometimes prove useful to students, that benefit is often outweighed by the distraction they present. When kids study at night, be sure they turn off their smartphones and only use their tablets as study aids. • Emphasize organization. Various organization techniques can help kids be more efficient when studying. Encourage kids to separate their learning materials by subject, and keep a cal-
endar or daily planner at home listing when their assignments are due and which days they will be tested. Encourage youngsters to keep their home study areas tidy as well, as unorganized areas can make it harder to focus or force kids to spend some of their study time cleaning up. • Establish quiet hours at home. Quiet hours at home while kids are studying can help them better absorb their coursework, and that may lead to improved performance in the classroom. While it’s important that a kids’ study areas remain distraction-free, it can also help if distractions outside those areas are minimized. Keep televisions and other potentially noisy distractions turned off while kids are studying. If you want to catch up on a favorite television show or watch a movie, do so on your tablet instead of the television, connecting earphones so kids are not overhearing anything while they’re trying to study. • Keep healthy snacks on hand. Hunger can be just as distracting as electronics or noisy housemates, so keep healthy snacks on hand. In lieu of unhealthy fare like potato chips or empty calories like pretzels, keep your home stocked with fruits and vegetables and protein-rich snacks like Greek yogurt. Such snacks will quell kids’ hunger pangs while also providing a boost of energy.
A strong home study environment can help students do their best in the classroom.

Get organized to reduce back-to-school stress BY KERI COLLINS LEWIS Media Relations Manager Agricultural Communications
STARKVILLE — Kids are not the only people feeling stressed about going back to school. As families count down the days of summer, the idea of returning to schedules packed with work, school and extracurricular activities can cause a lot of tension. Cassandra Kirkland, family life specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, said getting organized now can help ease families into the required routines. “Make a habit of creating a checklist of what is needed for the next day,” Kirkland said. “Just making a checklist can reduce stress, but it also serves as a starting point for organizing everything each family member needs to make the next morning easier.” Identify a “launch pad” where everyone has a spot for their stuff, such as backpacks, lunches, car

Quality sleep can help reduce back-to-school stress, and consistent nightly routines, such as brushing teeth and reading a bedtime story, help children relax and settle down before bedtime. keys, sports equipment, cell phones, school IDs and jackets. “Nightly routines, such as making sure homework has been completed, packing a lunch, setting
out clothes for the next day and taking a bath not only help reduce stress in the morning, but also build good habits of responsibility and planning ahead,” Kirkland said.
Another way to stay on top of family activities is to have a family calendar that is easily accessible by everyone. Dry-erase, wipe-off or paper calendars can be color-coded for each family member. Parents with young children can incorporate magnets or stickers to add fun to the calendar, while also teaching concepts such as days of the week and months of the year. “Families with teens may find an electronic family calendar more helpful,” Kirkland said. “Families can synch online calendars or use calendar applications in their phones to keep everyone up-to-date on appointments, activities and important events,” she said. Even the most organized families can feel stressed if their busy schedules prevent them from getting proper rest. Sleep is a key component to reducing back-toschool stress, said Lori Elmore-Staton, assistant professor in MSU’s School of Human Sciences. “Taking a bath 20 to 30
minutes before bedtime can help children settle down, and that timeframe allows their bodies to cool off, which promotes better quality sleep,” ElmoreStaton said. She stressed the importance of establishing routines and maintaining them consistently, even on the weekends. “After a couple of weeks in a consistent routine, their bodies will automatically start to relax and settle down when you start the bedtime process,” she said. “Taking a bath, brushing their teeth and reading a bedtime story are extremely helpful ways to prepare children for bed.” Keeping bedrooms quiet, cool, dark and comfortable promotes better sleep. A light, healthy snack before bedtime, such as bananas, dark leafy vegetables, berries, milk, peanut butter and whole grain foods can also help. “Children should avoid caffeine, chocolate, and sugary or spicy foods before bedtime,” Elmore-
Staton said. “They should also avoid screen time, whether it’s a TV, computer, cell phone or game console screen, because the light that is emitted from electronic screens can trick a child’s -- and an adult’s -- body into staying up longer. Children have less restful sleep when they fall asleep watching TV.” Use the quiet time before bed to talk to children about any back-to-school anxieties they might be experiencing and brainstorm strategies for dealing with their fears. “Use deep breathing techniques, review class material regularly to avoid test anxiety and formulate positive messages to counteract the negative messages your children may hear during the day,” Kirkland said. “Be aware of your children’s friends and the potential bullies in the classroom. Make communication part of your nightly routine, and as your family relationships get stronger, your stress level should decrease.”
Returning to school harder for students after family losses BY BRITTANY CLAIRE JACKS Student Worker Agricultural Communications
STARKVILLE — Returning to school is difficult for most students, but for those who have suffered family losses, the new academic year can be an overwhelming burden. Megan Aucoin, a senior social work major at Mississippi State University from Starkville, Mississippi, knows all too well how difficult it can be to return to school after such a loss. Aucoin, 21, lost her mother, Alana, to colon cancer in fall 2013. Aucoin said the most important way to prepare for returning to school after the loss of a loved one is to fully grieve and avoid pretending as if everything is fine. “The first step I took when returning back to school was to seek counseling,” she said. “I believe counseling can be emotionally helpful in any situation. I do not believe there is any certain way that you could completely prepare yourself, but you go back to class and do the best that you can.” Aucoin’s advice to students mourning the loss of loved ones is that it is
“I believe counseling can be emotionally helpful in any situation. I do not believe there is any certain way that you could completely prepare yourself, but you go back to class and do the best that you can.” Megan Aucoin Student, Mississippi State University okay to not be okay. “Talk to someone, whether it be a close friend or counselor, just find someone to talk to,” she said. “Let your teachers know what is going on. Mine were more than willing to help me in any way possible. Keep going. You may never fully get over what has happened, but you learn to deal with it, one day at a time.” Aucoin said she knows her mother is looking down on her with a smile for returning to school. “Knowing that my mother wanted me to be in school was my biggest motivation. She was so proud that I was attending MSU,” she said. “I will never know if anything else I do will make my mother proud, but I know for certain graduat-
ing from MSU will. That is what keeps me going.” College students are not the only ones affected by the passing of loved ones. According to Highmark Caring Place, A Center for Grieving Children, Adolescents and Their Families -- an organization that sponsors Children’s Grief Awareness Day -- one out of every 20 children who are 15 or younger will suffer the loss of one or both parents. This statistic does not include the number of children who lose grandparents or other relatives who provide parental care. Amy Stokes, an Extension associate for the MSU School of Human Sciences, said children recover from losses at different rates, depending on their maturity levels and
For back-to-school clothing, it’s best to stick with the classics BY COURTNEY COUFAL MSU Ag Communications
STARKVILLE — Shopping for back-to-school clothes does not have to stress family finances if parents plan their spending and stick to the basics. Bobbie Shaffett, family resource management specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, said there may not be much room left in the family budget for clothing this year because of rising prices and energy costs. This does not have to keep parents from treating their children to an annual back-to-school shopping trip if they follow a few tips. “Before heading to the store, take a look at the overall budget to see how much is available for spending on school clothes,” Shaffett said. Ideally, parents should begin preparing for this expense before the money is needed. “Plan ahead for periodic occasional expenses such as back-to-school, Christmas, or repairs and
maintenance by saving a little money each month,” Shaffett said. “These budget-busters consumers call unexpected are generally just neglected expenses. “Planning ahead for occasional expenses can reduce financial stress,” Shaffett added. If it becomes necessary to use credit cards, be careful to keep spending under control. “Try not to spend more than you can pay off in two or three months,” Shaffett said. Shaffett also recommended parents stick to a list of needed items, look for sales and consider fuel costs when planning the shopping route. Susan Cosgrove, Extension family resource management area agent, said there are specific types of clothing to look for this year that may be easier on the budget. “With the economy being what it is, it would be wise to buy classic styles rather than real trendy clothes because they can be worn longer and may
be more affordable,” Cosgrove said. Classic styles include items similar to uniform clothing like denim, khaki or olive-colored shorts, solid-colored shirts and a white button-down shirt. These pieces are good additions to any wardrobe. “Even if your school does not require uniforms, look into buying some of these pieces. You usually can buy uniform clothes at good prices,” Cosgrove said. Look for clothes made of durable fabrics, such as cotton. “School clothes need to be easy to take care of, so choose fabrics that can stand up to a lot of wear and washing,” she said. “Try to avoid fabrics that are hand-wash only or dry clean.” Know the school dress code before making selections. “A lot of clothes currently available may not fit the school dress code,” Cosgrove said. “You want to be sure the clothes you buy can be worn to school.”
connections to their deceased family members. “If they were really close to the deceased, it may take a little longer to come to grips with the death,” she said. “However, some children are very resilient and will begin to overcome some of their grief. I believe that within a week after the death of the loved one, children could return to school.” Stokes suggested that writing a letter to the loved one would help a child release emotions and get back into his or her everyday schedule.
“Children should think about the good memories they had with the deceased loved one in order to emotionally and mentally prepare themselves to go back to school,” she said. “Also, children should be prepared for the questions that will come from classmates. Getting back into their ‘normal’ schedule will help them to adjust.” School counselors or other trusted adults should be readily available if children need to talk after returning to school. “If children do not know
this person, introduce them, and have them start to build a relationship so when they are ready or need to talk, they will feel secure talking to the person,” Stokes said. Support of family, friends and loved ones is very important during times of loss. “Children do not need to feel as if they is being pushed,” Stokes said. “Children need to have someone who is going to consistently be there and someone who will listen and not judge their feelings.”

Seeing the end result Alcorn Central celebrates graduation with ‘Senior Walk’ BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
GLEN — High school senior traditions are alive and well in Alcorn County. Biggersville High School 12th graders celebrate their last year with an unofficial senior skip day. Across the county at Corinth High School, it’s the spray painting of the Madison Street underpass that jump starts senior year. At Kossuth High School, there’s the senior bonfire party leading up to the first day of school. Alcorn Central High School also has a rewarding and impactful senior tradition unlike all others. The “Senior Walk” happens during the last week of school when ACHS seniors take a stroll through the school’s hallways in their caps and gowns as elementary and middle school students cheer them on. “It’s two-sided,” said ACHS Principal Brandon Quinn, who is credited with starting the tradi-
tion three years ago. “It’s a great opportunity for the older kids to go back and relive the halls of their youth and it’s great for those younger kids to start looking forward to when they get to wear those purple and gold caps and gowns. Hopefully it helps them see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.” Alcorn Central Elementary School Principal John Anderson said it’s a walk down memory lane for the seniors. “They really enjoy coming back down here and seeing their former teachers ... and the teachers really enjoy it. There’s a lot of smiling, laughing, crying and hugging – it can get very emotional,” he said. “It’s a good thing too to see some of these kids who have made it through. It’s great that we get to help them celebrate their graduation.” Brian Phelps said the “Senior Walk” is also important for middle school students to witness.

Students and teachers often get emotional during the “Senior Walk.” The tradition begins as the seniors walk through the hallways of Alcorn Central Elementary School.
WALK CONTINUED FROM 8C
“We really get into it,” said Phelps, the 2015-16 Alcorn Central Middle School principal. “When the seniors walk down our halls, we want them to remember it. We throw confetti at them, hold up congratulations signs and play songs from their Senior Sounds on loud speakers throughout the hall-
way. It’s something fun for our kids and I think something everyone involved will remember.” And that’s the point, according to Anderson. “It’s creating memories,” he said. “Any time you can have a good role model that’s not so far removed from the elementary-age kids is great. The fact is these seniors are students too and for the little kids to
be able to see those older kids who are doing good things like graduating from high school, it’s a wonderful thing.” All three principals said they were unaware if a tradition like the “Senior Walk” takes place at any other local school. “If it does, then it should be,” said Anderson. “It’s the end result of school and seeing it happen is amazing.”
